Windsor Spitfires Acquire Shane Wright

January 10, 2023 at 11:30 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 6 Comments

As first reported by The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler and affirmed by Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News, the Windsor Spitfires have acquired high-end Seattle Kraken prospect Shane Wright from the Kingston Frontenacs ahead of the OHL trade deadline.

Wright will be headed along with a conditional 14th-round pick in 2025, while Kingston will receive:

  • Ethan Miedema
  • Gavin McCarthy
  • 2nd round pick 2023 (OTT)
  • 3rd round pick 2023 (SOO)
  • 4th round pick 2024 (NIA)
  • 6th round pick 2024 (NIA)
  • 4th round pick 2025 (NIA)
  • Conditional 5th round pick 2024 (HAM)
  • Conditional 6th round pick 2025 (ER)

The move will allow Wright to compete for an OHL championship, something the Kraken obviously wanted as they delayed his return as long as possible. The 19-year-old center played eight games in the NHL, five in the AHL, and seven with Team Canada at the recent World Junior Championship before being sent back. He’ll now join a Windsor team that is on the heels of the London Knights for first place in the Western Conference and sits 23-9-4 on the year.

Selected fourth overall by Seattle last summer, Wright had 94 points in 63 games last season for the Frotenacs, after missing the entire 2020-21 season due to COVID restrictions. His contract with the Kraken will slide, meaning he will not become a restricted free agent until 2026 at the earliest. It could potentially even slide again, as he only turned 19 a few days ago. That means Wright still won’t be eligible to play in the AHL at the start of 2023-24, causing more headaches for the Kraken if they deem him not quite ready to compete at the NHL level.

      I’m actually shocked he isn’t ending up in Ottawa. They’re dominating the East but have lackluster scoring. Great defensive unit throughout. Wright would seem to fit there and add a needed scoring punch.

      The 67’s did just pick up Logan Morrison for a boatload which will help fill their scoring need.
